Karina Ansos has been appointed as Managing Director at Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin
The new managing director at the world-famous Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin is called Karina Ansos and is the first woman ever to head the historic hotel at the Brandenburg Gate in the German capital as of mid-October. After three successful years, the previous director, Michael Sorgenfrey, is handing over the reins to his successor - he himself is taking a sabbatical. A return to one of the hotels of the worldwide Kempinski Hotels at a later date is not excluded.
French-born Karina Ansos can look back on an impressive career in the international luxury hotel industry at home and abroad. She started her hotel career as Director Convention Sales at the then Kempinski Hotel Atlantic Hamburg and at Kempinski Hotel Elephant Weimar, then worked as Director Sales & Marketing at Tigerpalast Variété Frankfurt and as Director Food & Beverage at the catering and convention company Fachwerk 319 and finally returned to Kempinski Hotels, where she worked her way up to Executive Assistant Manager at Kempinski Hotel Frankfurt. In 2009, she moved to China, first as Executive Assistant Manager at the 486-room Kempinski Hotel Suzhou, before being later appointed General Manager at THE ONE Executive Suites managed by Kempinski in Shanghai, where she was responsible for the pre-opening phase and opening, and subsequently managed the all-suite hotel with 244 suites and three restaurants for three years.
